  • Page 14: Air Volume Adjustment

    The AFW Series uses a constant torque ECM Motor. This motor will try to maintain proper motor torque to achieve programmed air volume levels at varying levels of external static pressure. The air volume level produced by the air handlers at varying external static pressure levels is shown in Table 11.2a.
